Physical Fitness in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis: A ...

Group differences and associations were tested with the chi- square test for categorical variables, the Mann-Whitney U test for ordinal variables, and analysis of covariance for continuous variables.
. . .
Conclusion The lower cardiorespiratory fitness and reduced flexibility in the AS group indicate that physical therapy programs should include cardiorespiratory fitness exercises as a basic component to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

. . .
Repeated measurement of ACPA or RF during the first year after onset of arthritis does not offer major additional information.
. . .
Should Anti-citrullinated Protein Antibody and Rheumatoid Factor Status Be Reassessed During the First Year of Followup in Recent-Onset Arthritis?
. . .
Conclusion Antibody status (ACPA/RF) is a stable phenotype in very early arthritis, as seroconversion was only found in 5% of patients.

Comparison of Drug-Related Problems in Different Patient Groups

The most frequent DRPs and the patient group in which they most often occurred were nonoptimal dose (cardiology, respiratory, geriatric) and need for additional drug (rheumatology). conclusions: DRPs occurred in the majority of the patients in all departments.
. . .
Mean age was 70.8 years, 58.6% were female, and 81% had at least one DRP.
. . .
Medical records and information acquired at multidisciplinary morning meetings were sources for assessing the patients' DRPs. results: A total of 827 patients were included.
. . .
Knowledge of these differences is clinically valuable by enabling us to guide efforts toward prevention of DRPs.

Our objective was to assess the combined predictive role of a set of laboratory markers with regard to 10-year radiographic progression, and to examine the effect of anti-CCP level.
. . .
Conclusion: Anti-CCP, IgM RF, ESR and female gender were independent predictors of radiographic progression and could be combined into an algorithm for better prediction.
. . .
Baseline sera were analysed for CRP, ESR, anti-CCP, IgA RF and IgM RF.

Quadruple-Threat Rheumatologist :: Article - The Rheumatologist

Espen Haavardsholm, MD, PhD, a senior researcher in the department, says of his former mentor (and now colleague): “He is very visionary.
. . .
His experience with a spectrum of clinical practice offered opportunities in his new position for collaboration between rheumatology and other disciplines, such as nephrology.
. . .
No part of this article can be reproduced without the written permission of the publisher.
. . .
We are used to being open minded and to saying what we think.” The egalitarian view extends to collaborations with colleagues, says Dr. Haavardsholm.
. . .
For example, it was not possible to establish a national register of patients treated with biological agents in Norway.
. . .
Glenn Haugeberg, MD, PhD, who did his original PhD work in Dr. Kvien’s lab in 1995 on generalized osteoporosis in RA, is now a professor of rheumatology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway.

Based on 11 case series (mean follow up 4.5 to 12 years) complications were reported in 11% (95% CI: 9.9% to 12.1%) of the total shoulder arthroplasties, while 10 case-series (mean follow-up 2.7 to 11.3 years) reported complications in 9.9% (95% CI: 8.4% to 11.4%) of the hemiarthroplasties (very low quality evidence).
. . .
We often do not have precise information about side effects and complications.
. . .
Objectives To assess beneficial and harmful effects of all forms of surgical treatment in the management of the shoulder in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
. . .
Search methods Articles were identified by searches in The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCISEARCH and reference lists of relevant articles (January 1995 to May 2008).
. . .
Authors' conclusions The effects of surgical treatment in the management of the shoulder in people with rheumatoid arthritis are largely unknown due to the paucity of randomised controlled trials.

Co-operation and conflict in a hospital: interprofessional ...

Avoidance behaviour or suppression is the most common reaction to an emerging conflict.
. . .
Altogether, 29 health professionals working in the hospital were interviewed, and data was analysed according to a grounded theory approach.
. . .
When in conflict, health professionals seem to use three major approaches to handling the situation: avoidance, forcing and negotiation, and usually in that order.

The subgroup analyses are presented in Figure 1. Conclusion: We found significantly higher odds ratio (OR) for established CVD among patients with active AS despite the total AS group having significantly lower total cholesterol.
. . .
In subgroup analyses AIx was significantly higher in the high-very high ASDAS compared to controls 19 (CI 16.9-21.0) vs16 (CI 14.7-17.6).
. . .
The increased risk of CVD was further confirmed by a significantly increased AIx in patients with high ASDAS.

Pain control at the end of life: a comparative study of ...

Data were extracted from patients’ medical records using the Resident Assessment Instrument of Palliative Care.Results: Healthcare workers consistently documented more pain in cancer patients during their last 3 days of life than in noncancer patients.
. . .
The odds of a cancer patient receiving analgesics classified as fentanyl, ketobemidone and oxycodone was more than 4–5 times higher than for noncancer patients.
. . .
Opiates were more frequently administered transdermally or by oral administration on an as-need basis in cancer patients; 10% in both groups did not receive adequate pain control.Conclusions: Pain is a highly prevalent symptom among dying hospitalized patients.
. . .
The sample included 220 deceased patients (110 died of cancer and 110 died of other causes).
